^^ Undefeated junior welterweight Danny Garcia's father and trainer, Angel Garcia, pulls no punches when discussing his son's WBC title defense against Amir Khan on July 14. RingTV's Bill Emes traveled to North Philadelphia to check in on the Garcias, who say they're ready for war. Warning: Angel Garcia gets pretty raw during his interview. This video is not intended for young viewers.
Saj from twitter Love how @DannySwift dad talking so much ****.. Whilst we were trying to make the fight he was saying "we not ready for Khan, its too early to fight him" but now khan is overrated he a no body, hes this and he's that, keeps bringing religion into it.. hahahhaaa the truth will come July 14th feel sorry for Garcia hes getting knocked out 100% and that's a promise
I can't see anything over than a Khan win here. I really favor Khan to stop Garcia in the later stages. Garcia will take a beating IMO. Most certainly Khan wants to make a massive statement here, and I see him pushing for the stoppage. KHAN TKO9
With less than two weeks before his July 14 showdown against Amir Khan, WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia remains confident he'll keep his undefeated record intact. "I believe that everything happens for a reason," Garcia said during an appearance on The Boxing Lab. "I think it's the perfect time for this fight. I'm the champion and he calls himself the best. If he calls himself the best then he has to beat the champion. To me, it's just another guy in my way trying to defeat me, but it ain't gonna happen." Amir lost his WBA super world light welterweight title to Lamont Peterson in 2011, but the latter was forced to give up the belt after testing positive for synthetic testosterone. Peterson also admitted to using synthetic testosterone before his bout against Khan. The rematch between Peterson and Khan was cancelled due to the failed drug test, giving Garcia the opportunity to test his skills against the Brit. The WBA super world light welterweight belt and Garcia's WBC belt will both be on the line when they square up at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. Garcia will have his work cut out for him against Khan, but he should be able to hold his own inside the ring. Amir obviously has more experience against top level fighters, and his technique is a little better as well. Still, Garcia isn't impressed with Khan's skills, and he vows to pull off the upset. "Everybody says he's fast and all that, but he reaches a lot with his punches and I think that's where he goes wrong," Garcia added. "I'm a great counter-puncher, so if he comes in and he wants to reach - then he has to pay. If he wants to fight then we can fight. If he wants to box then we could box. Whatever he wants to do, I'm going to adapt in there and make an exciting fight and win."
Khan reaches with his punches when he knows an opponent won't throw back (watch how he reached with Judah) you'd think it's dangerous and he might get counterpunched? but no... his timing isn't that bad. He gets off balance sometimes trying to hit that timing though "Everybody says he's fast and all that" Garcia is about to be mind****ed by his speed. Won't be able to handle it. "he's too fast" is what we'll hear come the end of the night.
I think people will be surprised how small an advantage in handspeed Khan will enjoy, as compared to most opponents. They didn't hang the "Swift" tag on Danny in his prospect days for no reason.
and that was pretty evident when he fought morales? morales at one point in the fight made fun of how slow his fists were.
Whatver, that was one night. Your first time seeing him, I gather? Khan is the faster man, but I wouldn't call Garcia slow. (in general)
[yt]d8lkU9ff7qI[/yt] Early days, before he'd progressed past 8-rounders, so the technique is raw, but he is no tortoise.
actually i'v seen his fights against,holt, ashley theophane and Arnaoutis and in all those bouts i was unimpressed he has timing but he waits and doesn't throw enough and he can be easily outworked.
